The Greatest Hits of the 2015 NAD Year-End Meetings

by Loren Seibold, November 6, 2015. I’ve been to a lot of church meetings. But there are none that compare to the marathon business sessions that happen at the Seventh-day Adventist World Headquarters at 12501 Old Columbia Pike. They can be a bit of an ordeal: this latest one stretched over 8 days. Like all business […]

Adventists in Scandinavia Discontinue Ordination for All Pastors

September 21, 2015: The Adventist national denominational organizations in parts of Europe have decided to discontinue the practice of clergy ordination altogether, in the wake of the vote against ordaining women pastors at the General Conference (GC) Session in July. Yesterday (September 20) the executive committee of the Norwegian Union Conference took this step. The […]

ADVENTIST TOMORROW by Jack Hoehn has become the best-selling book that Adventist Today has published, selling over 850 copies so far (480+ in the paperback and 370+ in the electronic Kindle version). It is being read by Adventist College and University students. It is being read in Canada, in Australia, in South Africa, in Kenya and in Spain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Who is reading Jack’s book? Jonathan Butler said it is on his reading list. Smuts Van Rooyen says he is enjoying it. Pastors John Hughson and Kenneth Preston have highly recommended it. Pastor Kevin McGill in Seattle quoted from the book in one of his sermons. Carmen Lau has read the book. Jennifer Ogden, Beverly Beem, Linda Nottingham, Cherri-Ann Farquharson, Gina Olberg have all read it with positive reviews.

Even Clifford Goldstein told Jack he liked the chapter on Intoxicants and got a new idea from the chapter Not a Rib, “but not much else.” (Jack accepts this as good a review from Cliff as he could ever hope for!)

You too don’t have to agree with Jack to read the book. The ideas discussed in the book are important for all caring Adventists to carefully consider. It is up to you to decide what you want to do about these issues. Is there a future for Adventism as well as a past? And what might that future look like?

Readers who like the book say: It’s a good read. I have enjoyed it immensely. A very valuable piece of work. Once I started it, I could not put it down. Very well written. An unprecedented and transformative rescue of Adventist thought. A genuine pleasure and a relief. Added very richly to my heart, soul and mind.

The book is good for individual consideration. It can be even better as the basis for group discussions — Sabbath School classes, book clubs, classrooms, workers’ retreats focusing on the challenges of tomorrow. After you read your copy share it with someone else, or gift them their own copy. There are 92,000 SDA congregations in the world, most of them should be having discussions on important topics like these.
